Re: Risk Assessment Forms?
What I have is pretty well all embracing. Just tick the right boxes.
All these bods ever want to see is something smart on a bit of paper that shows you are a responsible company. So anyone with a bit of savvy should be able to do their own.

Re: Risk Assessment Forms?
I was sub contracted by an electrical supplier to repair a dishwasher for the council.
When I turned up I was greeted by 3 guys in suits who asked first of all if I had a works order which I didn’t, I was then asked if I had a Risk assessment! I explained I had been called by a third party and made final arrangement with a secretary at the Town hall and nobody had expressed the need for either
They took me through to security who had simple forms at hand that cold be filled out.
I just put the risk as ‘electric shock’ and the precaution as ‘unplug the machine’ on reflection I should have put ‘use common sense’.They weren’t sure which of 3 machines had the problem so I had to test them first…… after checking with a secretary in the office with one of the machines a couple of calls later we found the machine in question.
The machine was dead………………….asked if they had checked the fuse to which they took a deep intake of breath and said ‘we can’t do that’, we would have to call an electrician’ so checked the supply which was dead, found the switch on the wall……..turned it on, problem solved!
